What I was thinking when we met.


Walking barefoot just to look for where you are.
I thought of searching in the corners of the world.
but I found you, love, standing at the middle of the road.
Your eyes looked where am i
And it’s the first time I melt
Every time was like a first time when you’re in love.
We spent the night under a caffeine influence.
You were so close.
I smiled, and you held my hands.
I looked at you with shock of innocence
Then you kissed my hand.
you move your head up and then you smile.
It was the moment the world stop.
The longest time I spent outside reality.
A dream of a once-upon-a-time starting to be told in me.
I wish destiny has something to do with it.
But my love I don’t believe in destiny.
Miracles have found us to be a living testimony.
That love as much as broken it was
Will fought till the end until the beginning of new love
My love, It’s a miracle that I found you.
You don’t look for scientific reason.
It’s a divine intervention.
I knew heaven rejoice for that moment.
I can still hear the sounds of angels harps.
Scrambled moments of what will go on in a future me.
Uncertain but the present is far more beautiful than the future.
I'm ready to take the risk.
and you ask me, what were you thinking when we met?
It’s the only time I am so sure of one thing.

I think “I love you”.

Point B by Sarah Kay


Sharing to all of you, one of my favorite inspirational poems by Sarah Kay. (im a huge fan of Sarah Kay) She is amazing :)



“If I should have a daughter…“Instead of “Mom”, she’s gonna call me “Point B.” Because that way, she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me. And I’m going to paint the solar system on the back of her hands so that she has to learn the entire universe before she can say “Oh, I know that like the back of my hand.”

She’s gonna learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air. There is hurt, here, that cannot be fixed by band-aids or poetry, so the first time she realizes that Wonder-woman isn’t coming, I’ll make sure she knows she doesn’t have to wear the cape all by herself. Because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers, your hands will always be too small to catch all the pain you want to heal. Believe me, I’ve tried.

And “Baby,” I’ll tell her “don’t keep your nose up in the air like that, I know that trick, I've done it a million times, you’re just smelling for smoke so you can follow the trail back to a burning house so you can find the boy who lost everything in the fire to see if you can save him. Or else, find the boy who lit the fire in the first place to see if you can change him.”

But I know that she will anyway, so instead I’ll always keep an extra supply of chocolate and rain boats nearby, ‘cause there is no heartbreak that chocolate can’t fix. Okay, there’s a few heartbreaks chocolate can’t fix. But that’s what the rain boots are for, because rain will wash away everything if you let it.

I want her to look at the world through the underside of a glass bottom boat, to look through a microscope at the galaxies that exist on the pin point of a human mind. Because that’s the way that my mom taught me. That there’ll be days like this, “There’ll be days like this my momma said” when you open your hands to catch and wind up with only blisters and bruises. When you step out of the phone booth and try to fly and the very people you wanna save are the ones standing on your cape. When your boots will fill with rain and you’ll be up to your knees in disappointment and those are the very days you have all the more reason to say “thank you,” ‘cause there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline no matter how many times it’s sent away.

You will put the “wind” in win some lose some, you will put the “star” in starting over and over, and no matter how many land mines erupt in a minute be sure your mind lands on the beauty of this funny place called life.

And yes, on a scale from one to over-trusting I am pretty damn naive but I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar. It can crumble so easily but don’t be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it.

“Baby,” I’ll tell her “remember your mama is a worrier but your papa is a warrior and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more.”

Remember that good things come in threes and so do bad things and always apologize when you’ve done something wrong but don’t you ever apologize for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining.

Your voice is small but don’t ever stop singing and when they finally hand you heartbreak, slip hatred and war under your doorstep and hand you hand-outs on street corners of cynicism and defeat, you tell them that they really ought to meet your mother.”

Poem: I will marry you

Remember the glass house im talking about? The house inside the forest?
Buy and built me that house, then I will marry you.
Buy me a car, send me to driving school, allow me to drive and take you to everywhere I want
then I will marry you.
Promised me to attend all  festivals here in Philippines.
lets dance, sing and lost to every corner of the street 
then I will marry you.
Lets take a ride to a dolphin, dive with them deeper as much as we could
then I will marry you.
Lets take a flight to Europe, see the sunset in Santorini,
take my dream shot to the beautiful Eiffel tower and walk me around to the Rome City 
then I will marry you.
Im afraid of heights but lets take a jump 15000 ft above the ground and if we could do that
then I will marry you.
believe in the God i believed in, my God said strong faith can move mountains and if we're two we could make it through,
then I will marry you.
You know how to make me happy but if you could do it every minute
then I will marry you.
If this is too much too ask for, then just love me till i die
and I will marry you..
Dont ask me to love you, because I already do,
that's why I will marry you.
